ABSTRACT:
A coin queuing and sorting arrangement comprises a coin queuing device and a coin sorting device. The queuing device receives coins of the same or mixed denominations and delivers the coins to an outlet of the queuing device in single file, in a single layer, and with a radially inner edge of each coin positioned at a common reference location. The queuing device includes a rotatable disc having a resilient top surface, and a stationary queuing head having a lower surface positioned parallel to the top surface of the disc and spaced slightly therefrom. The lower surface of the queuing head forms a queuing region for aligning the radially outer edges of coins of all denominations at a common radius, and an exit channel for receiving the queued coins. The exit channel includes a radially inner wall spiralling outwardly relative to the center of rotation of the disc to engage the radially inner edges of the queued coins. The inner wall extends to the outer periphery of the disc for discharging from the disc the queued coins which are advanced along the inner wall. The upper surface of at least an exit end of the exit channel is positioned sufficiently close to the resilient top surface of the disc to press the queued coins down into the resilient top surface as the coins are being discharged from the disc. The coin sorting device, disposed adjacent the queuing device, receives and sorts coins discharged from the disc.
